Wallace River...

Post by tsath24 » Mon Apr 23, 2012 6:42 am

Since the Snohomish, Skykomish, and Snoqualmie River are all closed to Chinook retention, does that mean the Wallace is closed as well? Does the Wallace even have springers running through it?...

I thought the kings were heading up to the Wallace. I'd assume it's going to close.

All the rivers around that area (Snoho, Skyko, Snoqual.) in the 2012-2012 regulations season pamphlet says to release chinook, but the Wallace doesn't...Don't know if that's true or not...

Well assuming that the Skykomish and Wallace are connected, there wouldn't be any retention for Kings in there as well....

Bottom of page 42/top of 43 should be all you need to know...

Looks like for salmon it opens Sept. 16th for a limit of 3 Coho Only.

So yes, it appears no King retention....

There hasn't been King retention in the wallace for a while. It opens in september, and you don't want those moldy kings by then anyway. We're going to have to drive for your kings now.

I remember there being retention for them last year on the Sky, but got back way too late from vacation which was a bummer...I wouldn't mind driving down south for some kings though... ](*,)
I know the Cow is a tributary of the Columbia, do you need the Columbia River endorsement to fish the Cow as well?...

Yes you do. any tributaries of the cowlitz you need one.
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
